No Fault With No Fear S Joseph Metz DC

No-fault insurance provides personal-injury coverage for treatment of patients who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. Most chiropractors in No-Fault states, especially newer graduates, will probably find themselves working with no-fault at some point. In the last two decades, clinics treating patients with automobile accident injuries have become a rising industry, and cases of no-fault fraud have increased as well. Chiropractors need to be especially aware of the legal, ethical, and clinical pitfalls they may encounter while working in this niche area of practice. This book reviews the development and basic framework of the no-fault insurance system and explores the state of the industry "on the ground", especially as it relates to chiropractic and what chiropractors can expect to encounter while working in the no-fault field. It also examines the rise of fraud in the industry, and how to avoid fraudulent and potentially fraudulent situations, and takes a close look at specific cases of no-fault insurance fraud involving chiropractors. Chiropractors also need to excel in the treatment room, and this book presents important clinical information that chiropractors will use every day with personal injury cases, along with a challenging clinical case study. Fully referenced and sprinkled with personal and clinical anecdotes, this book is the first of its kind and a must-read for any chiropractor who practices personal injury care.
